Florida – A Florida woman, 35-year-old AIexis was convicted last week after pIeading no contest to charges related to the se-uaI abuse of her spouse’s famiIy member. The incident occurred last year when the woman’s spouse discovered the assauIt in progress. In an effort to avoid a trial and spare the 15-year-old from further trauma, the family supported a plea deal that resulted in a reduced sentence for the defendant.
She was sentenced to two years in prison, followed by two years of community control and ten years of se* offender probation. Additionally, she was ordered to complete two hundred hours of community service and pay fines and court costs. Her nursing license had been revoked following her arrest.
According to Florida authorities, the investigation process began after an anonymous tip led authorities to the Sheriff’s Office. According to the arrest affidavit, the woman had been making inappropriate comments and advances toward her husband’s son for several weeks prior to the incident.
On the night of the abuse, she allegedly initiated se-ual contact with the 15-year-old after they had smoked a marljuana vape and watched movies together. The victim’s father returned home unexpectedly and found the two in a compromising position, which led to a confrontation. Despite the discovery, the father did not immediately report the incident. It was only later, after a concerned family member learned of the situation, that Florida authorities were notified.
During the investigation, the victim provided a detailed account of the events leading up to and including the abuse. He described how the much older woman had been making se-ual comments and gestures, including using whipped cream in a suggestive manner, to groom him over the preceding days. He also recounted how she had expressed regret only about being caught and attempted to justify her actions by claiming he resembled his father when he was younger. These statements were corroborated by evidence collected during the investigation.
The victim’s family expressed support for the plea deal, emphasizing the importance of protecting the teen’s mental health and avoiding the retraumatization that could result from a public trial. They hoped that the legal proceedings would allow the family to begin the healing process and provide the victim with the necessary support to recover from the ordeal.
In addition to the criminal proceedings, the Florida Department of Health took disciplinary action against the defendant, revoking her nursing license. The department cited her lack of moral character and judgment, stating that her actions were incompatible with the standards expected of healthcare professionals.
